Finite length at a minimal prime of a finite module #
This file isolates the commutative-algebra localization statement used later:
if P is minimal over the annihilator of a finite module, then localization at
P is nonzero and has finite length.
A finite module over a Noetherian local ring has finite length as soon as a power of the maximal ideal annihilates it.
Localization preserves finite generation for the canonical localized module.
A minimal prime over the annihilator belongs to the support, so the corresponding localization is nonzero.
At a minimal prime over the module annihilator, the localized maximal ideal lies in the radical of the mapped annihilator.
Mapping the original annihilator into the localization gives elements that annihilate every localized fraction.
A power of the localized maximal ideal annihilates the localized finite module.
The localized module at a minimal prime over its annihilator has finite length over the local ring.
The load-bearing package: localization at a minimal prime over the annihilator is simultaneously nonzero and of finite length.
